Hi there, how's your day going? I hope it's going great. Happy pride. I just thought you might want to know that some of the TGCF revisions are on Twitter. 
          	Usually, Twitter is a toxic cesspool that I dare not navigate unless I have to, so I guess learning that twink Hua Cheng is canon is necessary for me. I'm not even kidding (FYI, there are spoilers in a lot of the revisions in case you go looking):
          	https://twitter.com/belovedhualian/status/1659266811068653599?s=20
          	Now, if you haven't noticed, I have a type, and this actually killed me. There is still so much gay panic every time I read this. I'm just waiting for someone else to draw this because I forgot that Hua Cheng's birthday is the tenth, and I feel like I need to do something for that, so I have to get to write. Also, my laptop is fixed, so I'm capable of writing that, and I can organize that trainwreck of a chapter I made on my phone.
          	And about that summer Hualian book I wanted to write, I'm definitely going with the role reversal idea. I cannot promise that it will be finished by the end of the summer or ever. It won't be as good as the original book, but I'm feeling inspired, and if I don't do it now, I never will. I've started planning, and so far, it's utterly gay and complete fan service, so it'll pretty consistent with my usual content.
          	I'm pretty sure that I'm only doing this because I want to put Xie Lian in that love interest spotlight we, as a collective fandom, have put Hua Cheng in. I don't think many people realize this, but readers tend to adopt the same perceptions as the protagonist in books, so every time Xie Lian is crying over how hot his husband is, we're crying over how hot he is too. But I think that Xie Lian deserves to be appreciated also, so get ready to read all of Hua Cheng simping for his husband that wasn't included in the original due to there never being enough trees on this earth to facilitate the amount of copy paper we would need to print all of that.

If everything goes according to how I want, I should have another chapter out tomorrow. It's not the ghost arousal, I'm still working on that, and it's a bit short, but it's cute, I love it, I had fun, and I have to keep posting to stay relevant, so...yeah. 
          That's about everything on the oneshot book that I have to say. Also, Shavuot is coming up, that's cool. There's no practical reason for me to post this, and I know I said I wouldn't use this as a diary, but I would like to discuss what I want to do with the free time I'm going to have over the summer and what I'm probably going to do instead.
          I haven't been playing a certain game since I've been really busy recently. Now, though, they released an announcement for a future Stardew Valley update and that has since consumed my life. I'm very much aware that my hours on this game aren't healthy and that the update isn't scheduled to come out until the end of the year at the earliest, but it's not my fault that they reminded me of one of my most crippling addictions since the Sims 4. Why is it so damn entertaining to stare at the fishing minigame and go after the alternative hot people. There are only four or five people I don't have any interest in, but I'm just too attached to my emocore spouses to date anyone else.
          Okay, now onto the only part people might actually read this for. I really want to start a hualian book over the summer. I'm not sure what it would be about, and I don't know if I would be able to finish it over the summer, but I would have more time to plan it out without getting sidetracked, like I tend to do anytime I try to start something. It might be a role reversal because that's something I have in my notes that I want to do but genuinely don't have the time to or, because of how much I plan on doing for For Better or Worse, it might be that, but probably not. As much as I like kids, dedicating an entire book to one might just drive me insane. I'm considering it, though.
          Thank you for reading!

Alright, it's been two weeks since I last posted the first devlog(? do authors even have devlogs??), so here's another one. 
          I might've done one sooner, but there isn't much to report other than a disruptive flare in executive dysfunction. If you aren't familiar with the term, in summary, the executive part of my brain that makes decisions is dysfunctional. Fun, as one might imagine. It also doesn't help that I've been infuriatingly productive as of late in both school and at home. Really, something must be wrong with me if I'm cooking dinner and contributing to the household.
          Anyway, I'm slower than I usually am, but I think that I've thought of a way to get some chapters out faster. Either that or push myself to burnout, but I want to at least try it out. So, I'm thinking that there are two types of chapters: the short oneshots and the long/multiple-part 'oneshots' that my friends clown on me for putting in a oneshot book. I feel like if I work on two chapters of each type at a time, I'm less likely to descend into writer's madness, and if I get tired of one, then I can just work on the other and feel a bit more productive, so I might become a bit more productive. Either way, I'd be working on something. In theory, it should reduce the amount of time between chapters and allow me some diversity.
          This is where the devlog ends, and if I hadn't checked my statistics, the announcement would also end here. However, I did check my stats, and I am deeply disappointed in our hualian community. You horndogs keep fucking up my stats. Do I need to give every chapter an ambiguous title for people to look at it or something? Wtf guys you came here, read the first smut you found, and left. Talk about cum and go. Is that all I am to you?
          I'm not super invested in my stats, but, fuck, if all I need to do for people to read through chapters is give them ambiguous names then I hope you don't think I'm above that.
          This is satire btw, I love all of my readers (even the horny ones).

@ushuuuuu thank you for your concern, but I really enjoy writing and posting my content. It's a fun creative outlet for me and a rather therapeutic one at that. Also, I've learned how to recognize when I need to take a step back from what I'm doing to focus on myself when I need to, which is always important. Health-wise, things probably sound much worse than they are considering that everything is condensed into 2000 characters and gets brushed over. Everything's benign for the most part and more inconvenient than anything. But, again, I appreciate your concern.

I honestly kind of forgot that I could do this. Um, hi.
          With the current chapter I'm working on taking so long (it's worth the wait, though, trust me), I figured that I should probably give a bit of a progress update to one: show that I'm actually working on it and two: keep the author's notes/thoughts at the end of each chapter shorter. I promise not to inundate you all with announcements. I'll probably do this once a week at most, and I'll try my best to not use this as a diary because that's just a horrible way to use social media in general. Alright, enough stalling. Let's get into it.
          It isn't too uncommon for fluff and smut to go hand in hand, but I somehow brought angst into that as well. It's only Hua Cheng being upset with himself for a few paragraphs, but still. I suppose that's what happens when I'm given too much time to think about a concept and end up writing 7200 words for what I meant to be a simple smut chapter.
          I've been actively working on this chapter for a solid month now, and I'm tired. Writing is fun and all, but fuck my life and fuck my broken eyes. I shiver thinking about proofreading this. I'm not even done with it, by the way. Remember how it's smut? Yeah, we haven't even gotten into penetration yet.
          Also, I wrote the most Wattpad paragraph I've ever written in my entire life. Maybe it even borders the dark side of ao3, and I won't tell you what it is. You'll know it when you see it. And you'll probably cringe. I know I did. My friend did too, and they write vore on the dark side of ao3.
          Ahem, onto something a bit more mundane, I jammed my finger, and it shouldn't hinder my writing, but ow. I don't understand people who do sports regularly because that's apparently a common injury for athletes. I'm a soft persimmon that doesn't do well with blunt pain, though, so, of course, I'm bitching about it here.
          By the way, the chapter I'm working on is that full version of ghost arousal someone asked me to do, so yay (ノ´ヮ`)ノ*:・゚

@ushuuuuu my finger and eyes are fine, but it's going to take me a few days more to actually edit the chapter ‍
